Jesus H. Fucking Christ, equating taxation with a violation of bodily integrity? Does anyone think Warren is hot because of her expensive makeup or plastic surgery? No, you fucktard, the point is that money is only meaningful as a state-endorsed medium of exchange that can be used to acquire other goods and services, whereas sex is sex. If sex were a currency created by the state to serve as a representation of productivity, there might be some sort of equivalence. Since it isn't, you'll just have to go fuck yourself.

Glenn Reynolds, still bitter that in his first year at Hogwarts the Sorting Hat put him into Waffle House, points and laughs at what he believes is the "BEST ELIZABETH WARREN PARODY/RESPONSE YET." Get ready to chuckle! Reynolds explains that this "goes to the core problem. Are you the state’...

If so, what are you doing reading this instead of flying your private jet to a Bermuda vacation with your trophy wife?
Performance is a feature. Making assumptions about the sex of your readers is just a bug.

We've always put a heavy emphasis on performance at Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange. Not just because we're performance wonks (guilty!), but because we think speed is a competitive advantage. There's plenty of experimental data proving that the slower your website loads and displays, the less...

Very interesting and compelling points. Has anyone done any of those sophisticated statistical tests using regression or whatnot to determine the residual effect on LGBT-friendliness of an individual being catholic after normalizing or considering location. I would also like to see it broken down by ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, church attendance. Maybe the salient fact about catholics isn't that they belong to the catholic church, but that they don't belong to fundamentalist evangelical churches. Would be nice to have a longitudinal study that addressed that.

by Doctor Science The Public Religion Research Institute's recent report, Catholic Attitudes on Gay and Lesbian Issues (pdf) was widely linked -- I heard about it from Andrew Sullivan first, IIRC. As someone raised (mostly) Catholic who has many, many Catholic relatives, I was all fired up to lov...

The text of the Constitution gives the federal government the power to provide for organizing and arming the Militia, so it can clearly require insurance coverage for both organs and arms, at least for free able-bodied white male citizens between 18 and 45. In addition, the second amendment indicates that citizens not in that group are entitled to health care for their arms but not other organs. Moreover, the first amendment specifically requires Congress to provide free exercise and to offer treatment for diseases of the vocal tract, while the fourth amendment provides protection against unreasonable seizures, making mental health treatment a basic right. Life-threatening illnesses would obviously be covered under the fifth amendment's protection against being deprived of life without due process of law. Unfortunately, only accused criminals are entitled to participate in scientific studies for drugs not approved by the FDA, via the sixth amendment's provision for speedy and public trials.
